The invention discloses an accurate
zero crossing point control method for a built-in
relay of a large-
current electric energy meter, which relates to the technical field of
power electronics and intelligent metering and comprises the following steps of: receiving a
power grid voltage digital signal, determining a
voltage zero crossing point by comparing symbol changes of adjacent sampling values, establishing a phase corresponding relation between
voltage and current, and calculating a current phase corresponding relation; generating current
zero crossing point prediction data; when a
relay switching instruction is received, the specific moment of the next current zero crossing point is calculated, and the
control signal sending moment is determined; a
relay driving
control signal is sent, the actual action completion moment of the relay is collected, the deviation from the expected zero crossing moment is calculated, and the mechanical action
delay time parameter of the relay is corrected. By predicting the current zero-crossing time and considering the mechanical action
delay characteristic of the relay, accurate switching of the built-in relay at the actual current zero-crossing point is achieved, meanwhile, the self-adaptive adjusting capacity is achieved, the
arc energy during large-current switching is reduced, the service life of the relay is prolonged, and the reliability of the
electric energy meter is improved.
